This news has previously been researched by a team of British-based researchers, they say a huge iceberg weighing more than a trillion tonnes has been destroyed in West Antarctica a few days ago.
The MIDAS Project scientists have been monitoring the icebergs in Antarctica after the collapse of the Larsen A iceberg in 1995 and the iceberg that part of Larsen C collapsed has recently been observed over the past 12 months, which turned out to be a significant advance.
The collapsed iceberg, which is part of Larsen C, an area of 5,800 square kilometers and has split off on Monday and Wednesday last week, according to experts monitoring by NASA's Aqua MODIS satellite.
According to Professor Adrian Luckman of Swansea University who leads the investigation of Project MIDAS, "This is part of the normal behavior of the iceberg, but what makes it unusual is its size," CNN reported on Tuesday (18/07/2017).
The iceberg that has now seceded from Larsen C, now only floating itself and still in the area of Larsen C. Meanwhile, Larsen C iceberg has reduced its area by more than 12 percent.
Luckman added, "There will be no immediate impact.This incident does not directly affect anyone and if there is an impact, it will not be felt for years, but still, destroy this iceberg on a massive scale is a spectacular geographical event and Incredible that has changed the landscape. "
It should also be noted that this spectacular event of ice collapse is not proved because of the effects of climate change, similarly described by Luckman.
"We have no evidence to relate this directly to climate change and there is no reason to believe that the collapse of the iceberg will not occur without the global warming that human activities have done, but in the case of the collapse of previously recorded icebergs, global warming May have caused the collapse of the iceberg, "he said.
However, the same is not said by Eric Rignot, Professor of Earth System Science at the University of California, "The breakdown of the iceberg signifies that the ice sheet is too thin because the climate has been heating for decades, the ice has finally collapsed and the problem is really related to Warming climate, "he told CNN reported on Tuesday (18/07/2017).
Of all the statements and statements given by scientists, a question arises from the tourists, "Is it still safe to vacation in Antarctica?"
